  1. This is the south. And by that I mean anything below Sudbury or North bay. I stopped putting reports online about a dozen years ago, I've seen spots burn hard as a result of the Internet. The only place I'll put a "report" is on my private Facebook page, and even then only if it's a really good day, or if I'm out with my kids or if I'm fishing with a partner and we do well. My longtime fishing buddies are all very experienced fisherman and have no desire to see me posing selfies of 5 pound steelhead or 2 pound pickerel on Facebook, or fish laying in the dirt (no that was not a shot at you, just a fact about my fishing buddies). The only people who will see what I occasionally put on Facebook are folks I know personally and that includes a couple folks on this board. Anyone else I could give a damn, I don't need to measure the length of my Johnson online. Post away as it suits you but most of us living south of the IQ line long ago gave up putting stuff out there. The last time I mentioned anything about the lake our family cottage was on I got a few PMs looking for spots. I'm not about to cut out backgrounds to take photos and if I posted them online as is, I'd have new best friends all summer.

    Understood.

     

    I guess the demographic is vastly different north vrs south.

     

    Not lake our lakes are pounded on masse

     

    Id be pissed if my reports led to people flooding to my cabin as well

     

    Here all the anglers know the real good lakes, and all those lakes have numerous hotspots so it rarely gets crowded(exception being sawbill)

     

    The small lakes are hit or miss. But thats part of the fun! And when I find a good one I dont mind sharing because most around here arent willing to haul a motor through the bush 2km lol

  2. Living in paradise! Nice fish! that sturgeon looks cool in the stained water too.

    I agree! Its awesome to watch them in the shallows like sharks! Sometime the water is clear enough for pics.

     

    If conditions are perfect, i could literally reach out and grab them!

  7. I don't think anybody is looking for social reassurance. Do you enjoy reading fishing reports that were written with thought and care? I do, and I remember when this board was full of them and the conversations were plentiful. I do believe that a lot of the more diehard anglers that posted a lot of fishing content have long since left, due to the endless nasty bickering in the political and other NF threads, and how the fishing content is secondary to everything else.

     

    A few years ago if you were to come on here a day or two after a long weekend the front page would be brimming with awesome stories and photos from everyones adventures, nowadays you're lucky to see one, more than likely none. I don't think there's anything wrong with acknowledging that fact.

    Ive already received some PMs basically reiterating this...

     

    When I first joined it was rediculous how many reports there were on a daily basis. It was awesome to read all the journies and enjoy the pics. Then one year winternet was mentioned and its like it never left

     

    Im just gonna take it personally, and since I fish alot, ill keep flooding the site with reports?

  8. See, now look at all the replies you are getting to this thread :whistling:

    At least its bringing forth some discussion, thats not a bad thing imo

     

    Im at the river taking a quick break. I just wanna add hiw much I hate mono!

     

    I got spooled by a sturgeon last night and had mono laying around so I spooled it up for today.

     

    Big mistake! Shoulda made the hour drive to get some nanofil or PP

  9. YES!!!!!

     

    Handsdown the best fishing reports ive ever read!

     

    Anytime I see a thread started by moosebunk I frantically get all my stuff done so I can read the report in detail without skifting through.

     

    Even then ill re read a report 5 or 6 times in awe

     

    Great idea bunk!
